Optical Properties of Graphite
Abstract
The complex dielectric constant $\ensuremath{\epsilon}(\ensuremath{\omega})={\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{1}+i{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{2}$ and associated functions are derived by application of the Kramers-Kronig relation to reflectance data for graphite obtained in the energy range to 26 eV. It is possible to divide the optical properties into two spectral regions. In the range 0 to 9 eV, intra- and interband transitions involve mainly the $\ensuremath{\pi}$ bands. At higher energies, a broad absorption peak near 15 eV is associated with interband transitions involving the 3 $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ electrons per atom. This viewpoint is strongly supported by evaluation of the sum rules for ${n}_{\mathrm{eff}}$. Plasma resonances which produce peaks in the energy-loss function $\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{Im}{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at 7 and 25 eV are identified and described physically. At low energies, structure in the reflectance curve near 0.8 eV is attributed to the onset of transitions between the ${E}_{2}$ and ${E}_{3}$ bands at the point $K$. This yields a value for ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{1}$ of \ensuremath{\approx}0.4 eV.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
